The Magazines.
MRs. Eva BARKLgY,

The midsummer holiday number Of The
CGntury is particularly attractive. Gen. A.
W. Greedy describes weird episode of the
Franklin Bay expedition; and feature of
the number is the beginning Of a three. part
story by Joel Chandler Harris. The Battle
Series in the present number are "Oppos
Ing Sherman's Advance to Atlanta, by Gen.
Joseph f. Johnston, and Hoods invasion
of Tennessee" the publishers having cup
piled the want of Illustrative material by
recent photographs of localities about
franklin and Nashville. The frontispiece
of the number is portrait of Mrs Julia
Ward Howe, apropos of paper on "The
Songs of the War; by Brander Matthews,
which includes authentic accounts of the
origin OF the most notable Of the songs,
with autographs In whole or In part, of
Randails "My Maryland" Mrs. Howes
Battle Hymn Of the Republic and Mr..
Gibbons Three Hundred Thousand
More" to which Mrs Howe adds an ac-
count of the circumstances attending the
writing Of the hymn. The Lincoln History
Is devoted TO the events Of 1859 and 1860,
including the Cooper Institute and Ohio
speeches; the John Brown raid, and the
Charleston convention of 1860.
The Wdgaaine If Anterican History for
August Is as welcome as ever, with not n
dull page in 1t. The history of the famous
arctic exploring ship "Resolute" is given In
the most entertaining manner. IL includes
important information on many points con!
corning Arctic explorations, together with
the story In detail Of the finding of the
Resolute as II dritted on the Iceberg to
which 1t was frozen, and the succession of
events that eliminated with the gift to the
Queen. The presentation scene Is given
not only In the graphic language of an eye
witness, but through an exact copy of the
famous historic painting In Sydenham
Palace, made at the time by direction of
the Queen from instantaneous photographs
and careful portrait studies. Among the
other articles are: The First Newspaper

Temporary relief. Many nights have We
laid awake 10 hold her mouth open to keep
her from strangling. Her hearing had also

BE Honest.

The famous explorer, DIR. Livingstone, was
descended from the Highlanders, and was
fond of telling the following story Of one of
his ancestors. The good man, rs death drew
near, summoned his family around his bed.
He said: Now lads and lassies, have looked
all through our history as far back as can
find It, and have never found dishonest
man in all the line, and want you to under
stand you inherit good blood. You have no
excuse for wrong doing. Be honest"

1t is painfully noticeable that among pro
fessional men all are not good readers We
have heard lawyers In court blunder along
with the simplest matter, which twelve
year. old boy should have been ashamed to
have read so poorly. There are clergymen
whose reading Is 80 inexact and inelegant,
as to pain the congregations. Not every
preacher knows how to read hymn, to
editlcation. To be able to read we'll for the
entertainment of company of friends, or
for the family enjoyment and edification, Is
valuable art. Attention should be- given
TO this In our schools. Parents pay hun
dreds of dollars for instruction in music for
daughters, where sons who may become
lawyers or preachers, have not cent spent
In voice culture. ..
We have ourselves 80 many times been
DESTROYS Of sketching face, drawing pat.
tern, putting on paper simple design, that
we could wish that the ability to do this
had been secured In our common school
education. But as TO singing, we are never
sufficiently grateful that we escaped the
pedagogue's efforts in that department of
erudition. 1t is enough to hear the ear
splitting dulcet notes of the school boy on
the street, and the ravishing Sunday school
performance. Next to prayers for rain in
dry time (Which by the way we have not
yet heard, we devoutly pray that our
school board won't have singing taught, to
all and sundry, in the public schools, till
something more necessary important and
useful shall have been tried. II, however,
they must do 1t, We trust they will add In
struction on the tlfe and drum also, and If
they can afford 1t, on the jews harp and
